As a former active attendee at the CAC meetings, I am extremely happy to see that our Western States JAC is one of the grant awardees...
I have 3,000 more hours to go in my apprenticeship and hopeful to see how some of this funding will directly impact my experience...
Hopefully a report/some feedback from Western States JAC will be shared/talked about at our next union meeting.
